RE: lingo-l file import in shockwave playing in a browser

2002-03-04 Thread séb

Hi Michael,

 I want to create a shockwave movie, playing on the web, that creates an
 image based on an image that the user can - if he wants to -
 import from his
 own harddisk. I know that shockwave cannot access the user's harddisk. Is
 there ANY solution, maybe with the help of an Xtra to do that
 nevertheless?

One solution might be to use a php upload of the file chosen by the user on
hiw own hard drive, then loading the shockwave movie with the name of the
temp image uploaded as a swn parameter.

hth,
.séb

Hi Michael,

Mediamacros makes a Safe Image Import Xtra that does what you need.
I've never actually played with it, but it should be pretty straight
forward.  Check it out at:

Good luck

If you can convince the user to copy the image, by viewing it in a 
paint program and doing a copy (or by screen shot if you have to), 
you can use pasteclipboardintomember to get it into the shockwave 
movie. One problem though is that since about shockwave 8, the user 
gets pestered with a security dialog each time you do that. Otherwise 
it works well.
